Found
on a February 1955 Tour of Britain, I believe this embossed badge was the
version produced from late 1949 till Claud Butler went bust in 1956, note the
yellow ring bottom left. As apposed to the Holdsworth and later, reproduction
versions which have the yellow ring top left. |

| Years: | 1950's |
| Found On: | Vintage Lightweights |
| Additional Info: |
This head badge found on a 1952 Massed Start is interesting
on two counts, 1st its cast in an aluminium/alloy rather than pressed tin,
2nd the rings are in yet another colour configuration (yellow top right) the
badge is very light and has fine cast detail, perhaps reserved for the very top
of the range model such as the Massed Start? |
